Shanghai's ever popular street vendor has practically become an institution, serving fried pork and sage filled shengjian (fried soup dumplings) to eager patrons who queue up round the block for these treats. Though a bit tricky, your best bet is to puncture a sizable hole in the firm dough, suck up the delicious soup, dip it in sweet vinegar and devour the rest.

Sorry to say we gotta kiss it goodbye, Zach. The Gummymint here don't want ugly traditional Shanghainese things messing up that thing that's happening next year.

I literally stumbled into this place and now basically refuse to get my dumplings from anywhere else. It's one of the best meals I can get in Shanghai.

I live on Qinghai Lu right next to Wujiang Lu where they have two Yang's Fried Dumpling places right next to eachother. Yang's is amazing and I eat it at least twice a week. People eat Yang's for breakfast, lunch, dinner, second dinner, late night snack....all hours of the day, there will be lines at Yang's.

Who doesn't know about Yang's Dumpling? Every person i knwo that comes to visit Shanghai, I always take them here for these dumplings.

at 4.5 rmb for 4 dumplings, how can you go wrong?

Helpful hint: 1. Be prepared to wait in line. 2. make sure you have tissue with you 3. suck before you chow ;)

It is truly amzing dumplings! I called it the 'squirting' dumplings coz it squirts out deliciously yummy broth with each bite...it's the cousin of the xiaolongbao..bigger in size, twice the amount of filling & a thicker dumpling skin that is both chewy & crispy!

Have been told that the 'old' Wujiang Street would be closed down a few months ago for future development but it's still there and business is good!

They have also opened a shop just above Costa Coffee on the Wujiang Leisure Street. So check it out too when that craving pops up again!

This is the best street-food in Shanghai! Go line up patiently for the dumplings and douse them with the vinegar in the teapot + the chilli from the pot. After you finish it, go line up at the same store 5 meters away....

Beyond amazing. It actually has a generous amount of hot delicious soup inside (can't stand it when dumplings only have a pathetic little amount). The meat is tasty and soft, and the 'bao' itself is finely textured and absolutely divine!

And at only RMB4.5 for 4 big dumplings, it was a bargain.

I'll be back.
